Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Minneiska, MN.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Minneiska is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
