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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Smarr is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
