Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Marble Falls, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Marble Falls is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
