Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Platte, SD.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Platte is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
