Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Oquossoc, ME.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer 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 usually geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Oquossoc is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
