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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Prescott is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
