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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer 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 spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Woodruff is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
