Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Beverly Hills, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Beverly Hills is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
