Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Keams Canyon, AZ.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Keams Canyon is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
