Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Venango, PA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they 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, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have 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 that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Venango is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
