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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Cobb is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
