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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Palmyra is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
