Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Cross Fork, PA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Cross Fork is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
