Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.
Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Jackson is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
