Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Todd, 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 uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery 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 because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Todd is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
