Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Milford, PA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Milford is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
