Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Hartford, AR.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get 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, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Hartford is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
