Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Mio, MI.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals 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 symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may offer 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Mio is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
