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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as 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 clinics might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Fredericksburg is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
