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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual therapy and 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 further recovery services in Easton is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
