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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group therapy and 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 that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Carrollton is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
