Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Bradford, IA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have 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, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Bradford is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
