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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Bristol is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
