Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Houston Lake, MO.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Houston Lake is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
