Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help 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 undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.
Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Lawrenceville is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
