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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Newell is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
