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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Baring is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
