Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - La Joya, TX.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in La Joya is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
