Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Swan River, MN.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Swan River is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
