Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Trevor, WI.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver 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 that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Trevor is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
