Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Hickory Grove, SC.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that 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 Hickory Grove is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
