Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Hillsboro, AL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities 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 undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Hillsboro is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
