Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Kapaau, HI.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of 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 therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may 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 which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Kapaau is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
