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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 further rehabilitation services in Grafton is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
