Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.
Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Mount Morris is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
