Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Glenhaven, CA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Glenhaven is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
