Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Otley, IA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Otley is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
