Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type 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 recovery 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 because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Kalkaska is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
