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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group 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 opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Cherry Creek is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
