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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Hannibal is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
