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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Tahoma is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
