Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Hancocks Bridge, NJ.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Hancocks Bridge is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
