Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Tchula, MS.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might provide 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 that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Tchula is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
