Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Coventry, RI.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have 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 which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Coventry is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
