Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Bodega, CA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Bodega is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
