Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Stone Lake, WI.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Stone Lake is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
