Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Eveleth, MN.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or 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 regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Eveleth is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
