Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Hanover, KS.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients 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 opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Hanover is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
