Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Eagle Rock, MO.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Eagle Rock is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
