Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Port Hueneme, CA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group 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 which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Port Hueneme is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
