Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Ava, MO.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and 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 crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Ava is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
