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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to 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 programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual 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 which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Normandy Beach is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
