Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Lawai, HI.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent 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 undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Lawai is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
