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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help 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 feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Freeman is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
