Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized 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 normally set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Derwent is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
