Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Adamant, VT.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Adamant is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
