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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Orchard Hill is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
