Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Pearblossom, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Pearblossom is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
