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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Wabasso is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
