Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Cadet, MO.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted 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 undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Cadet is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
