Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Spivey, KS.

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

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Spivey is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
