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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent 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 rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Warsaw is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
