Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Fort Riley, KS.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Fort Riley is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
