Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Beaumont, MS.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Beaumont is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
