Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Glendora, MS.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals 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 instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Glendora is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
