Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Lake Park, IA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have 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 opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Lake Park is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
