Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Limington, ME.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a wide range of extensive recovery 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 because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Limington is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
