Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Fort Valley, GA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Fort Valley is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
