Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Wakeeney, KS.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Wakeeney is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
