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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Frenchville is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
