Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Tucson is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
