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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Fertile is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
