Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Russellville, KY.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Russellville is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
