Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Oxly, MO.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to 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 dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 additional treatment services in Oxly is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
