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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual therapy and 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Clemons is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
