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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Raymond is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
