Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Easley, SC.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or 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 used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Easley is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
