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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Thelma is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
