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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Toksook Bay is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
