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

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

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual 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 by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Ojibwa is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
