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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual therapy and 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Faulkton is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
