Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Ogunquit, ME.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because 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 rehabilitation services in Ogunquit is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
