Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Franksville, WI.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Franksville is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
