Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Denair, CA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people 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 opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Denair is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
