Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Buck Grove, IA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe 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 usually set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Buck Grove is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
