Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Wabbaseka, AR.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients 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 symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Wabbaseka is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
