Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Browning, MO.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Browning is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
