Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Belpre is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
