Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Pequabuck, CT.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Pequabuck is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
