Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Crystal Springs, MS.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group 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 treatment services in Crystal Springs is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
