Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Sultana, 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 someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Sultana is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
