Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Jerome, MI.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Jerome is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
