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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people 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 symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have 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 which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Hat Creek is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
