Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Lakeland Shores, MN.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Lakeland Shores is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
