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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain 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 get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual 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 opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Humansville is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
