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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group therapy and 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Inman is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
