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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Stewartsville is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
