Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Hammond, WI.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Hammond is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
