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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients 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 rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Naylor is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
