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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted clients 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 effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Mc Clurg is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
