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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have 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, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Reading is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
