Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Fairdealing, MO.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Fairdealing is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
