Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Quinque, VA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat 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 symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Quinque is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
