Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Interior, SD.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people 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 withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Interior is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
