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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Houck is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
