About Behavioral Health Group - BHG - Paintsville Treatment Center
Behavioral Health Group - BHG - Paintsville Treatment Center located in Paintsville, KY provides a State Funded rehab program. Detailed description details:
Behavioral Health Group - BHG - Paintsville Treatment Center provides a Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) program for opioids.
Behavioral Health Group - BHG - Paintsville Treatment Center uses a combination of medication, counseling, and behavioral therapy to treat opioid addiction.
Medications used in the MAT include: Buprenorphine; Unlike methadone treatment, which must be performed in a highly structured clinic, buprenorphine is the first medication to treat opioid dependency that is permitted to be prescribed or dispensed in physician offices, significantly increasing treatment access.
Methadone; Methadone works by changing how the brain and nervous system respond to pain. It lessens the painful symptoms of opiate withdrawal and blocks the euphoric effects of opiate drugs such as heroin, morphine, and codeine, as well as semi-synthetic opioids like oxycodone and hydrocodone.
Naltrexone; Naltrexone blocks the euphoric and sedative effects of drugs such as heroin, morphine, and codeine. It works differently in the body than buprenorphine and methadone, which activate opioid receptors in the body that suppress cravings. Naltrexone binds and blocks opioid receptors, and is reported to reduce opioid cravings. There is no abuse and diversion potential with naltrexone.
Office Hours: Mon-Fri 5:30 am - 2:00 pm, Sat 6 - 10 am

This place should really investigate some of their so called faculty team members because I went for an intake withdrawing feeling annoyed and anxiety and maybe one team member in the whole building was actually sympathetic and the others the complete opposite be little you and tale advantage of the situation your in! Luckily I got my treatment elsewhere after I endured the insults belittling and power trip of one of their pretend doctors who failed at becoming an actual doctor! It’s an experience I won’t forget and I’ll blast the truth every time I see some fake review so people get the best out of treatment and go somewhere you don’t have to constantly be on defensive mode. Hope this helps someone!
