Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Murfreesboro, NC.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Murfreesboro is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
