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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Yale is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
