Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Rombauer, MO.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Rombauer is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
