Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Bulan, KY.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and 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 further rehabilitation services in Bulan is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
