Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Broadway, NC.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Broadway is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
