Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Twin Peaks, CA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Twin Peaks is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
