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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Panorama Park is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
