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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 supplemental rehabilitation services in Nashville is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
