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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Nekoosa is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
