Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Buena, WA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get 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, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than 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 and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Buena is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
