Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Searsmont, ME.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 supplemental recovery services in Searsmont is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
