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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients 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 opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Basehor is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
