Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Russell is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
