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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group 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 that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Gore Springs is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
