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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Beaumont is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
