Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.
Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Sterling is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
