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

Methadone is a prescription 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 used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Fairview is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
