Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Potter Valley, CA.

Methadone is a prescription 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 a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Potter Valley is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
