Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Waddell, AZ.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Waddell is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
