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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or 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 used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Wilton is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
