Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.
Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group therapy and 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Austin is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
