Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Ocean Shores, WA.

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

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Ocean Shores is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
