Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - McGrath, MN.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in McGrath is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
