Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Mcnary, AZ.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Mcnary is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
