Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.
Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment 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 because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Tipton is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
