Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Sumner, ME.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like 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 regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 treatment services in Sumner is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
