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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Sawyer is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
