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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that 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 typically set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Hoover is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
