Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Stockton is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
