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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Eldon is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
