Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Marlton, NJ.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Marlton is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
