Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Rosendale, MO.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Rosendale is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
