Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Biddeford Pool, ME.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Biddeford Pool is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
