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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Plymouth is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
