Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Vendor, AR.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Vendor is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
