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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a wide range of extensive treatment 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 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Thor is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
