Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Fogelsville, PA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Fogelsville is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
