Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.
Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Lodi is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
