Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered 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 become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.
Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Lost Springs is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
