Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Odebolt, IA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Odebolt is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
