Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Green Sea, SC.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Green Sea is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
