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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment 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 due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Mount Croghan is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
