Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Mc Henry, MS.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like 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 treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and 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 Mc Henry is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
