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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed 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 set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Pollok is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
