Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Duncombe, IA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 further treatment services in Duncombe is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
