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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Laurel Hill is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
