Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - White Lake, 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 someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual therapy and 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 by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in White Lake is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
