Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help 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 undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group therapy and 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 which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Benoit is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
