Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Buckatunna, MS.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Buckatunna is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
