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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual therapy and 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 and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Suncook is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
