Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Jasper, MO.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Jasper is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
