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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Ellsinore is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
