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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Northwest is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
