Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Nelsonville, WI.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Nelsonville is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
