Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Doolittle, MO.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Doolittle is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
