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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have 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 that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Greensboro Bend is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
