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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Jonestown is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
