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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Cannon Falls is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
