Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lamar, AR.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have 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 which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics 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 and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Lamar is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
