Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Kellyton, AL.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Kellyton is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
