Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Jessieville, AR.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Jessieville is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
