Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.
Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Casa Grande is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
