Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Flat Rock, AL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted 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 undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Flat Rock is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
