Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Remus, MI.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Remus is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
