Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Merced is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
