Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Montreat, NC.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests 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 feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Montreat is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
