Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Hibernia, NJ.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Hibernia is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
