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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals 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 effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Plymouth is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
