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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Little Eagle is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
