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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Forest Ranch is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
