Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Chester, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Chester is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
