Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Stevenson Ranch, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug 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 used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Stevenson Ranch is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
