Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Drain, OR.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Drain is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
