Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Chloride, AZ.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have 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, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual therapy and 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Chloride is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
