Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Pelkie, MI.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Pelkie is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
