Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Lakeside, AZ.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might provide 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Lakeside is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
