Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Red Bank, NJ.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual therapy and 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 that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Red Bank is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
