Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Means, KY.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Means is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
