Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Grass Valley, OR.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Grass Valley is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
