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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Sun Valley is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
