Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Wilton, WI.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment 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 serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Wilton is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
