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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Nevis is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
