Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person uses 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 become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.
Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Lucien is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
