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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Weston is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
