Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Pioneertown, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients 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 alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual therapy and 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 and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Pioneertown is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
