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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs 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.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and 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 and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Ione is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
