Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - New Cuyama, CA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group therapy and 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in New Cuyama is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
