Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Roy, NM.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Roy is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
