Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Ferguson, IA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Ferguson is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
