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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become 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, facilities which 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 usually designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may provide 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Iron is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
