Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests 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 get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Kanopolis is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
