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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Crane is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
