Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Hewitt, MN.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Hewitt is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
