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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to 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 known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Sinsinawa is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
