Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Bellefonte, PA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Bellefonte is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
