Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Jackson, 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 triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Jackson is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
