Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Carrollton, MO.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual therapy and 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Carrollton is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
