Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.
Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Bridgeton is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
