Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Forest City, MO.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Forest City is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
