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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered 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 they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Rockport is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
