Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Carolina Beach, NC.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Carolina Beach is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
