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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and 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 opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Harris is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
