Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Round Rock, AZ.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Round Rock is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
