Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Bemidji, MN.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Bemidji is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
