Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Pierceville, KS.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get 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, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Pierceville is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
