Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Green Isle, 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 activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Green Isle is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
