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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group 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 which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Rock Valley is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
