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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Lorraine is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
