Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Pine Meadow, CT.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Pine Meadow is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
