Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Chunchula, AL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group 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 further treatment services in Chunchula is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
