Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Gold Canyon, AZ.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Gold Canyon is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
