Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Rushford Village, 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 a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide 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 which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Rushford Village is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
