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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people 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 rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Vossburg is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
