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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Walcott is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
