Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Hardwick, GA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Hardwick is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
