Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Oak Run, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Oak Run is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
