Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Burnham, ME.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Burnham is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
