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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like 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 programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual 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 rehabilitation services in Byram is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
