Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Strong City, KS.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Strong City is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
