Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Grand Canyon, AZ.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Grand Canyon is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
