Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Beatrice, AL.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Beatrice is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
