Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Waynesville, MO.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Waynesville is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
