Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Leola, SD.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual therapy and 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Leola is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
