Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Caraway, AR.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Caraway is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
