Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Hancock, WI.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Hancock is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
