Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Monroe, SD.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Monroe is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
