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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Waldo is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
