Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Rock Falls, WI.

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

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Rock Falls is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
