Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Broeck Pointe, KY.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 additional rehabilitation services in Broeck Pointe is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
