Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Ellendale, 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 someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Ellendale is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
