Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Norcatur, KS.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Norcatur is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
