Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Marshall, AK.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Marshall is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
