Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Roberts, WI.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Roberts is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
