Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Greendell, NJ.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual 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 that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Greendell is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
