Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Beaver, OR.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver 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 that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Beaver is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
