Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted clients 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 authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.
Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Fife Lake is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
