Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - San Jose, NM.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in San Jose is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
