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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors 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 the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Scarville is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
