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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Flordell Hills is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
