Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Imlay, NV.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted 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 undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Imlay is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
