Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Eden Prairie, MN.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Eden Prairie is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
