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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Tracys Landing is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
