Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Ash, NC.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of extensive recovery 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 serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Ash is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
