Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Vesta, MN.

Methadone is a prescription 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 takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe 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 geared to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Vesta is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
