Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Presto, PA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Presto is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
