Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Boyle, MS.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Boyle is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
