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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Orfordville is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
