Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Colts Neck, NJ.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Colts Neck is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
