Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Windsor, CT.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Windsor is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
