Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Taneytown, MD.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted 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 withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Taneytown is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
