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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in San Manuel is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
