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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Oconto is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
