Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Gordonville, MO.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have 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 by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Gordonville is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
