Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Kneeland, CA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Kneeland is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
