Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.
Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Boones Mill is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
