Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Fruitland, MD.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Fruitland is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
