Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.
Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Paw Paw is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
