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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Stewart is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
