Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Bosque, NM.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Bosque is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
