Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Krypton, KY.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities 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.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Krypton is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
