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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Stanfield is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
