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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group therapy and 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 opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Lindstrom is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
