Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered 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 become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate 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 known as methadone maintenance therapy.
Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual therapy and 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Chesapeake is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
