Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Rexford, KS.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Rexford is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
