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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Kimberly is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
