Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Sherrills Ford, NC.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is 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 alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Sherrills Ford is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
