Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Hollandale, MS.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Hollandale is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
