Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Ninole, HI.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Ninole is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
