Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.
Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group 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 supplemental recovery services in Bingham is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
