Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Pine Mountain Club, CA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Pine Mountain Club is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
