Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Waupun, WI.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Waupun is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
