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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Clio is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
