Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Bergman, AR.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted 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 withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might provide 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Bergman is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
