Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Lee, NH.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered 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 have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Lee is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
