Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Mauldin, SC.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Mauldin is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
