Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lineboro, MD.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Lineboro is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
