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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Wrightstown is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
