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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Clearbrook is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
