Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Luna Pier, MI.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person takes 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 crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and 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 further recovery services in Luna Pier is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
