Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Cascade Locks, OR.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Cascade Locks is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
