Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Loomis, WA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Loomis is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
