Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Tow, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Tow is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
