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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have 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 that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Three Rivers is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
