Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Vesper, WI.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Vesper is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
