Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Parker, KS.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual therapy and 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 which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Parker is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
