Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Pineville, NC.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than 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.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because 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 supplemental recovery services in Pineville is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
