Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Monmouth, IA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group 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 by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Monmouth is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
