Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Oran, IA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Oran is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
