Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Diberville, MS.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group therapy and 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 which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Diberville is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
