Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Ellenboro, NC.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Ellenboro is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
