Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Bartlett, NH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have 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 that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Bartlett is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
