Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Garden City, IA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual therapy and 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Garden City is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
