Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Bena, MN.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Bena is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
