Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Mora, MO.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer 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 because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Mora is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
