Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Mont Vernon, NH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the 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 that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might provide 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 which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Mont Vernon is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
