Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Ballinger, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Ballinger is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
