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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation 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 drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Jackman is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
