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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Salter Path is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
