Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Belton, SC.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors 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 experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which 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 commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Belton is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
