Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Bellefontaine, MS.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Bellefontaine is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
