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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. 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 might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Stockholm is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
