Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.
Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Ellerslie is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
