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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Papaaloa is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
