Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Kiowa is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
