Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Danielsville, GA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics 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.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Danielsville is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
