Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Bunker, MO.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than 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 normally set up to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Bunker is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
