Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Coloma, CA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Coloma is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
