Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Logan, KS.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or 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 used in facilities 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 feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Logan is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
