Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Randolph, ME.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might provide 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Randolph is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
