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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Twain is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
