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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a wide range of extensive recovery 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 due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Juda is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
