Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Menlo, GA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of 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 known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Menlo is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
