Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Windsor Mill, MD.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Windsor Mill is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
