Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Cascade, IA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Cascade is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
