Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Centerbrook, CT.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help 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 alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Centerbrook is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
