Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Bamberg, SC.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Bamberg is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
