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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Ute is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
