Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Mount Olive, NC.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 Mount Olive is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
