Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Silver Lake, MN.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group therapy and 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 further treatment services in Silver Lake is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
