Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Casey, IA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered 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 opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have 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 additional treatment services in Casey is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
