Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Essex Junction, VT.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Essex Junction is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
