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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Waskish is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
