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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that 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 Alburnett is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
