Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Hollister, MO.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people 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 symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Hollister is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
