Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Oronogo, MO.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects 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 method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may 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 that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Oronogo is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
