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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which 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 therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Nevada is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
