Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Atlantic, IA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Atlantic is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
