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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Prosser is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
