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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, 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 dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Crownpoint is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
