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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that 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.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual 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 by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Springville is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
