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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become 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 licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Greenville is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
