Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Cohasset, MN.

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

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Cohasset is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
