Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Chamois, MO.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted people 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 instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that 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 therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Chamois is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
