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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than 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 called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Jacumba is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
