Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Soldier, IA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Soldier is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
