Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Summit Lake, WI.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted 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 undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to 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.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual 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 further treatment services in Summit Lake is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
