Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Barry, MN.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted 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 feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Barry is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
