Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Trappe, MD.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Trappe is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
