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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Marana is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
