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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Hampton is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
