Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Marshall, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Marshall is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
