Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Wells, MN.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients 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 effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Wells is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
