Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Vanzant, MO.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Vanzant is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
