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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Glenview Hills is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
