Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Sharon, KS.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual 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 which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Sharon is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
