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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and 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 Webb is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
