Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Maribel, WI.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people 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 effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Maribel is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
