Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Mather, CA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Mather is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
