Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Hutchinson, MN.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have 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 that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Hutchinson is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
