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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics 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.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in New Hill is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
