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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Oneida is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
