Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Cumming, GA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer 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 commonly geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Cumming is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
