Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Dallas, IA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Dallas is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
