Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Howe, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Howe is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
