Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Wolverton, MN.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Wolverton is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
