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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes 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 drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Patton is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
