Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Moultrie, GA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people 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 instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Moultrie is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
