Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Chatfield, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual 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 which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Chatfield is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
