Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Belle Fourche, SD.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Belle Fourche is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
