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

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

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Wiggins is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
