Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Aydlett, NC.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer 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 set up to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Aydlett is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
