Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Stoughton, WI.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities 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 feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Stoughton is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
