Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Moundridge, KS.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Moundridge is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
