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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Whites City is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
