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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Tombstone is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
