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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to 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 help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Peachtree Corners is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
