Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Taylor, MO.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Taylor is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
