Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Fayette, IA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Fayette is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
