Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Canaan, NH.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Canaan is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
