Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Grosse Ile, MI.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Grosse Ile is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
