Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Boxholm, IA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted 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 undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group 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 opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Boxholm is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
