Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Lannon, WI.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Lannon is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
