Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Adel, IA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted clients 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 withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and 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 further treatment services in Adel is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
