Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Bland, MO.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Bland is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
