Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Philpot, KY.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Philpot is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
