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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Luebbering is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
