Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Milbridge, ME.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Milbridge is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
