Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Kesley, IA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Kesley is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
