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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes 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 crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a wide range of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group 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 by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Greer is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
