Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Castlewood, SD.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms 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 method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Castlewood is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
