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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe 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 usually geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Olin is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
