Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Luna, NM.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have 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 additional treatment services in Luna is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
