Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Viola, WI.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Viola is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
