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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Nemaha is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
