Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Burton, WA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual therapy and 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 rehabilitation services in Burton is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
