Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Rochester, KY.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, 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 administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Rochester is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
