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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which 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 therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Marcus is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
