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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Grandin is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
