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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Fagus is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
