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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Manahawkin is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
