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

Methadone is a prescription 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 programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Clever is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
