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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Genoa City is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
