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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients 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 symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Tom Bean is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
