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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer 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 wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Templeville is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
