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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Holy Cross is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
