Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Dunbarton, NH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Dunbarton is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
