Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Readsboro, VT.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Readsboro is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
