Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Mayhew, MS.

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

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Mayhew is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
