Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Pioneer, CA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent 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 feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Pioneer is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
