Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Shullsburg, 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 activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Shullsburg is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
