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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Bayard is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
