Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Seat Pleasant, MD.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Seat Pleasant is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
