Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Sharon, CT.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Sharon is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
