Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Tisch Mills is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
