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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get 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 administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Rowan is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
