Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Winger, MN.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual 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 and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Winger is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
