Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Fonda, IA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Fonda is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
