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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have 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 which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Seabrook is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
