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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is 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 withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Hesston is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
