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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat 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 feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Ottosen is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
