Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Bonner Springs, KS.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Bonner Springs is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
