Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Mickleton, NJ.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide 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 which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Mickleton is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
