Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Crawfordsville, IA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get 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 prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Crawfordsville is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
