Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - St. Albans, VT.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in St. Albans is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
