Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Fort Apache, AZ.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Fort Apache is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
