Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Eastland, TX.

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

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Eastland is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
