Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Wesley, IA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural 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 get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Wesley is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
