Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Aredale, IA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Aredale is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
