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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in New Albin is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
