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

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

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Rockwell is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
