Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Trumbauersville, PA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Trumbauersville is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
