Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Chitina, AK.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual therapy and 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 opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Chitina is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
