Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and 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 which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Savonburg is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
