Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Allendale, SC.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals 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 effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Allendale is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
