Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Gordon, WI.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Gordon is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
