Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Sturgis, KY.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group 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 which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Sturgis is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
