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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Currie is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
