Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Mabel, 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 treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Mabel is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
