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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a wide range of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and 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 by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Rupert is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
