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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Pine Grove is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
