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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people 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 effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Carytown is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
