Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Fairlee, VT.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Fairlee is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
