Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Moclips, WA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities 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 undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Moclips is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
