Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Bethel Island, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals 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 symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Bethel Island is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
