Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - State Farm, VA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in State Farm is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
