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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group therapy and 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 which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Prentice is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
