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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Pep is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
