Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Kaylor, SD.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Kaylor is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
