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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group 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 which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Traphill is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
