Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Eure, NC.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person 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 get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Eure is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
