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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual 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 that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Pomerene is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
