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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 treatment services in Bronson is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
