Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual therapy and 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 which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Farmington is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
