Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Wesson, MS.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Wesson is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
