Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - El Mirage, AZ.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in El Mirage is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
