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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Scobey is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
