Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Nicholson, GA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted 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 effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Nicholson is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
