Methadone is a regulated drug 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 takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Oakley is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
