Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Bude, MS.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Bude is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
