Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Sandy Hook, VA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group 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 opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Sandy Hook is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
