Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Biloxi, MS.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people 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 opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Biloxi is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
