Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Davis, NC.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Davis is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
