Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Soso, 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 are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Soso is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
