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

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

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual 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 and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Olean is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
