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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent people 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 withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual 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 that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Mizpah is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
