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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and 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 recovery services in Edward is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
