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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in White Mills is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
