Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Farwell, MI.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to 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.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group 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 which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Farwell is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
