Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Preston, MD.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Preston is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
