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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs 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 may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Shaw is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
