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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Early is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
