Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Hanover, WI.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals 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 effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Hanover is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
