Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Eustis, ME.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Eustis is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
