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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Selawik is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
