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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Albia is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
