Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Tobaccoville, NC.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Tobaccoville is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
