Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Klamath River, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a wide range of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual therapy and 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 which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Klamath River is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
