Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Woodman, WI.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Woodman is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
