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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Atqasuk is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
