Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Plainfield, WI.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Plainfield is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
