Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Como, MS.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have 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 which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Como is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
