Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Emmalena, KY.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group 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 that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Emmalena is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
