Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Fultondale, AL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Fultondale is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
