Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals 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 effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Carlos is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
