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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients 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 opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Glyndon is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
