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

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

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 rehabilitation services in Burns is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
