Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Yorkville, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Yorkville is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
