Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Nunda, SD.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Nunda is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
