Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Baileyville, ME.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Baileyville is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
