Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Windham, CT.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Windham is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
