Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Flat, TX.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted clients 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 opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual counseling.
