Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Wausau, WI.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual 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 opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Wausau is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
