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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Earling is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
