Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Aynor, SC.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients 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 withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Aynor is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
