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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Gallman is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
