Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Valley Farms, AZ.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Valley Farms is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
