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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Malvern is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
