Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Wixon Valley, TX.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Wixon Valley is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
