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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Winter is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
