Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Henrietta, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Henrietta is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
