Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Aniak, AK.

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

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Aniak is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
