Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Angier, NC.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become 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, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Angier is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
