Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Mill Spring, NC.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may 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 rehabilitation services in Mill Spring is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
