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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Wapwallopen is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
