She says methadone treatment is not what a lot of people think.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost people confuse crystal meth with methadone,\u201d she said. \u201cCrystal meth is an illegal drug cooked up from over-the-counter sinus or cold medications. Methadone is an entirely different drug.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMethadone is an agonist medication, studied, analyzed and approved by the FDA,\u201d she said. It blocks the ability to get high and blocks symptoms of withdrawal, like sweating, fever, nausea and diarrhea. It reduces cravings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Williams-Falcon advises that the daily dose of methadone does not alone address the underlying reasons for addiction. In addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/newseason.com\/treatment\/medication-assisted-treatment\/\">medication-assisted treatment<\/a>, clients require <a href=\"https:\/\/newseason.com\/treatment\/counseling\/\">counseling<\/a> to overcome their addiction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome have an image you just come in, get your medicine, that it\u2019s just a quick place addicts can go and they\u2019re fine until they get their next fix. That is not what we are about,\u201d Williams-Falcon said. \u201cWe are a medication-assisted treatment program designed to treat patients who battle opioid addictions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Treatment is a long-term commitment to physical health and mental wellbeing. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugabuse.gov\">National Institute on Drug Abuse<\/a>, as cited in the article, recommends patients receive methadone treatment for a minimum of 12 months, and some patients may require treatment for years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newseason.com\">New Season<\/a> provides individually-tailored treatment plans for each patient to achieve full recovery and return to a health lifestyle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kris Williams-Falcon, Ph.D., a New Season therapist specializing in substance abuse and addiction counseling, conveyed a radiating message in a July 7 article published in Savannah Morning News.
