Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Waverly, WA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group 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 which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Waverly is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
