Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Fort Gaines, GA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Fort Gaines is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
