Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Birds Landing, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have 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, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Birds Landing is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
