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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group therapy and 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Zavalla is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
