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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Plano is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
