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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat 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 effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a wide range of extensive treatment 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 because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Breda is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
