Methadone is a regulated drug which like 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 regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual therapy and 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 that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Inman is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
