Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Madison, NC.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals 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 opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Madison is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
