Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Bobtown, PA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Bobtown is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
