Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Foley, MN.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Foley is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
