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

Methadone is a regulated 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 used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group therapy and 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 by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Maysville is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
